RACA 9 Feb. – 26 Feb. 2006
"It is better to train the mind to see beauty, rather
than strain the eye with beauty" – Jeremy Walton,
Designer, Paradiseparkdesignstudios.
With the purpose of using the concept of Extreme makeover”
in urban space and proposing projects for discussion a group
of designers, architects, fashion stylists and academics meet
up at RACA for a three day intense workshop. Taking place
parallel to the Copenhagen fashion fair the overall theme
for the workshop dealt with fashion and architecture. During
two evenings and a full Saturday was projects discussed, conceptualised
and realised. The thought behind the workshop was to test
contemporary ideas about architecture and fashion via the
implementation of live projects in the urban environment without
large scale budgets and encourage architectural strategies
inspired by fashion and the reverse. The project could be
seen as a Cinderella like experience, doing a lot with small
means. Extreme Makeover is about radical change from before
and after, from known to unrecognizable, visual stimulation
and cross-fertilization.
